The alert has been lifted in my community of New Westminster but people living close by (Burnaby, Vancouver and West Vancouver) still need to boil. My water looks clearer than yesterday but I'm not taking any chances and still boiling. Through this whole thing I was not thinking of myself at all. I was thinking how the little bugs in the water would effect Max. Would he get sick?? I saw him straining a bit to pee this morning but then he jumped into the second litterbox (which he never uses) and let out a big pee biscuit. I'm keeping a close watch on him.
I was at my Mom's today (she lives in Vancouver) and her whole kitchen counter was wall to wall pots of boiled water. I need to get her some containers so she can at least empty the pots and put the water in the fridge. I'm also worried about her because bad water can really cause problems for the elderly and those with a compromised immune system.
We are expecting another huge storm tomorrow with more record-breaking rainfall everywhere. Oh the joy of it all. I keep thinking of Katrina and how insignificant my problem is compared to what those people went through. 
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
